This is the funniest episode, haha, I couldn't stop laughing the whole time I was watching it. In this episode, we also saw the sweet interaction between Stark and Fern, sob, our Stark is an adult, even though his intention was just for fun, haha

A very sweet episode again. The hot springs story reinforces the whole "it's about the journey not the destination" theme the series as a whole has, and the second part is obviously some long awaited progression in Fern and Stark's relationship. Frieren shows us in quick succession how perceptive and helpful she can be, followed by how completely useless and naive she is when Stark and Fern ask her for advice respectively lol.

The show continues to look and sound beautiful, the animation is amazing. No real complaints. With pretty much any other show I think I would be complaining about the pace or lack of plot movement by this point, but as I said above, Frieren is all about the journey, the destination is pretty much incidental and an excuse to get that journey going.

Now 7 more episodes to go.

Well when the character has no tits or ass you have to work with what you've got ;)
@MenchiK1 I don't really care about that stuff unless it's an ecchi.

Ok, can anyone explain why we never see Fern and Frieren use their ability to fly to avoid walking/climbing so much? I can't imagine that Stark is so heavy that they couldn't carry him between them for short distances and yet they're constantly climbing up and down steep inclines, never mind longer distances. Was/is this ever explained?

Flying magic is pretty new to humanity and consumes a lot of mana. Like if we want to go somewhere faster and then running can save our time but we don't because it consumes a lot of energy so walking is natural to us. Also if the situation is extremely dangerous then we have seen them use flying magic like in the S1 when Stark was poison by snake they decided to carry him and fly to get medical treatment (13 ep).

every episode of this season just leaves me with the same thought every week. that this season is better than the last.
@ryzxgum The upcoming arcs are better than anything on Season 1, though I'm not sure how many Season 2 will cover in remaining 7.

My calculation is that in ends with the
Arc.

@chaddings I agree, and I think the art and animation dropped a little compared to S1 too.

as much as I am loving this season so far, from how it's looking, S2 will not be in contention to be nominated for anime of the year.

And of course they had to throw in the tantrum to really sell how the character is a low functioning autist; as if we couldn't already tell. Well at least you freaks got some more foot fetish content out of this episode. i know a lot of you were gooning the first time around from all the comments about it.

Eisen has the line of the season so far, and it hits hard with the nostalgic smile. Fern giving the opening, and Stark making the moves...this will be interesting for both of them moving forward.

@ultramb Meanwhile, people still going like "Frieren is always so inexpressive", while in this subject, and granny here is side by side with Marcille as one of the most in your face emotionally-ranged elf characters in any medium lol
@Danpmss lol. yeah, i think the reason people say that is Frieren being nonchalant most of the time when it comes to battle.

The hot spring adventure was fun, and it was worth it, IMO. LOL. They made some beautiful memories during that. Other than that, Frieren's tantrum and her crying were so adorable. I love her.

Stark and Fern are going to go on a date, and both are confused about what to do in that situation. So, they ask the big parent they have, Frieren. And, she's just too adorable. LOL. And, yes Frieren, you're a great parent to Fern.

Finally, the scene from the poster of this season has been adapted. All those efforts just to have a foot bath. But as Eisen said all those pointless adventures that he had with his party remain in his mind as precious memories.
That can't be denied ❤️
Stark really freaked out Fern with that date suggestion, haha. I hope Stark makes it a wonderful date for Fern since he has got some fine advice from Grandma Frieren.

First half was a bit meh, especially since they didn't even show the fight against the hydra. The view from that mountain was nice though.
Second half was much more interesting, especially Frieren was very funny. Never imagined she could throw a tantrum like that, wonder what agitated her back then with Himmel's party. I also noticed that every time she gives relationship advice she copies that smile from Flamme, easys to see where her knowledge is from.
Also we better get that date next episode!

It has always been the exact same structure for every single episode: something happens, then flashback showing how that situation already happened in the past and also developed very similarly to the one in the present, using even the same lines most of the time. All the characters are VERY OFTEN deadpan in almost every scenario. If it wasn't for the animation and sometimes the story this show would be unwatchable.

Loved the episode, an easy 5/5, mainly because I’ve been waiting for this for so long, and finally seeing it animated has me exhilarated. I ain't gonna mention the date, I don’t want any bans for spoilers or anything, but all imma say is, I can’t wait for it!

KYAAAAAAAAA Fern is growing up
she wants some dating now 😭😭😭

frieren out of bath haur was hilarious and also "you're asking me for empathic evaluation? do you realize who you're talking to?" the self recognition is real

"UH WAIT WHAT?!? YOUVE BEEN?" was the most emotion Fern ever shown so far, like no joke, idk why more ppl arent talking about it, be it fear, pride, anger, surprise that scene was THE ONE where she acted more emotionful all these eps

I am worried. I don't think this episode was good. The framing was weird, the animation was not good. The only carefully animated shots were the "memeable" ones ... I hope the quality doesn't drop further.
